Proprietor Ellen Rose left the world of TV production to create a bookstore dedicated to all things epicurean. Plan for a few hours of browsing time; Rose has created an inviting environment that encourages lingering and chatting about favorite dishes. –

If you love to cook, and you are looking to expand your collection of cookbooks - this is the place to come. The helpful and friendly staff are well informed on the books they carry. I've also purchased many a gift for friends who love to cook.
- Pros: The Cookbooks!
- Cons: a challenge to park
